Learning From Attributed Networks - Embedding, Theory, and Interactions
(2020-04-15)
Networks are widely adopted to represent the relations between objects in many disciplines. In real-world scenarios, nodes are often associated with a rich set of data describing their characteristics, such as social ...
Basic and Applied Studies of Cell-Matrix Interactions
(2015-12-07)
Extracellular matrix is a complex network of molecules that accomplishes various roles within each tissue. The mechanical properties and biochemical composition of the extracellular matrix vary considerably across tissues. ...
Automatic Temperature Control System for Semiconductor Devices During Radiation Testing
(2020-04-22)
The proposed project focuses on the issue of inaccurate temperature control in a critical environment. Currently, there are two options with respect to radiation testing, in house radiation testing, or traveling to third ...
Adhesive Wear Phenomena in High Performance Polyaryletherketones (PAEK) Polymers
(2016-07-12)
Adhesive wear is one of the most difficult types to study and is especially challenging for polymers. Such wear processes involve the mutual sticking of surface asperities followed by removal of debris from the bulk. This ...
Color stability of black sorghum bran extracts under different conditions
(2009-05-15)
The color stability of 3-deoxyanthocyanins extracted from Tx430 Black
and Black tannin sorghum brans were exposed to different pHs, temperatures,
water activities, and concentrations for comparison with synthetic colorants ...
S100A1 and S100B: Novel Drug Targets for Alzheimer's Disease Therapy
(2011-11-05)
Numerous factors/gene products, including S100A1 and S100B, have been implicated in the onset and progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, deciphering S100A1/S100B's role in AD has been hampered by their antipodal ...
Advances in Tip-enhanced Raman and Photoluminescence Spectroscopy
(2020-04-10)
Tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) and tip-enhanced photoluminescence (TEPL) can be widely applied to multi-disciplinary studies involving near-field scanning technologies. Several types of TERS setups have been applied ...
The Influence of Institutional Investors on Analyst Earnings Forecast Properties
(2015-06-30)
In this study, I examine the institutional investor demand for analyst information and its effect on earnings forecast properties. Analysts are motivated to fulfill their clients’ demand for information, and institutional ...
A Tunable Extended Depth of Focus Microscope Through Beam Shape Modulation into an Axicon Lens
(2015-08-12)
I propose and demonstrate the groundwork for developing a fluorescence microscopy imaging system by which a Digital Micromirror Device (DMD) and an axicon can be used in combination for remote refocusing of the focal plane ...
Platelet Activation in Artificial Heart Valves
(2020-04-23)
A numerical framework is developed to perform multi-scale (hinge-to valve-scale) flow simulation and quantify the thrombogenic performance of prosthetic heart valves. This aim is achieved by 1) developing a parallel dynamic ...
